Article from Thimbleby & Shorland:
The summer sale season got off to an excellent start with the dispersal sale of the purebred Hackney horses and ponies on behalf of the Peters family of Brookfield Brookfield Hackney Stud , Southampton. Pauline Peter assisted by her brothers, Jimmy and Joe, with a team of willing helpers, ensured that the farm and the animals were presented in immaculate order. Such was the quality of the coats on the horses and ponies that they positively glowed in the summer sun.
Several hundred clients, enthusiasts and potential purchasers turned out to support this popular and highly regarded family and bidding on the 25 animals offered was good and free flowing. One of the finest horses on the day was the black stallion Brookfield Joe’s Legacy, a 4 year-old who showed himself brilliantly and was sold for 9,600 guineas (£10,080). The pretty pony mare, Brookfield Classic Lady , a 10 year-old with smart colt foal at foot, made 4,000 guineas (£4,200), the bay 2 year-old filly, Brookfield Pretty Woman, made 2,1250 guineas (£2,275), a 4 year-old black mare, Brookfield First Edition sold for 2,600 guineas (£2,730) and the 6 year-old dark bay mare, Brookfield Golden Jubilee, sold for 2,500 guineas, (£2,625).
